I just looked at the platinum prices over the past few months – it's wild what’s going on. At the end of January, it was nearly $3,000, then crashed to $1,882, now it’s fluctuating around $2,000-$2,100. That’s a completely different volatility compared to gold, which tends to move more steadily upward.

For me, the interesting question is: what is more valuable – platinum or gold? Purely based on price, gold is still significantly higher (over $4,800), but platinum has gained over 100% this year. Gold only 70%. The difference: platinum is rarer and has real industrial demand (catalysts, hydrogen, medicine), while gold functions more as a pure investment vehicle. South Africa supplies 70-80% of the global production – if something goes wrong there, it will get tight.

The question of whether platinum or gold is better depends on the type of investor. For active traders, platinum is interesting because of its volatility (CFDs, futures), while conservative investors might prefer gold as a portfolio addition. What is more valuable for whom? Platinum for yield-seekers, gold for stability. But beware: rapid 35% crashes are also possible with platinum. The market structure is simply too illiquid for that.
